How to Bypass the Google Account on the Philips S398

For Android devices, linking to a Google account is required to authorise the user. This is the FRP (Factory Reset Protection) function. You need it both to protect your data from unauthorised hands and to transfer your information to new devices using your Google account.

If you don't authorise it, you won't be able to use your phone. Or will it work? Many people are uncomfortable depending on the services of a company that gives data to black markets. Of course, crafters have long wondered how to bypass the Google account on the Philips S398, and the way exists, of course.

A safe but risky way

First of all, bypassing the FRP is still a violation of the phone's terms of use. The warranty is definitely expired and you have to take full responsibility for it. In addition, you have to use third-party software. Again, you are responsible.

Let's be clear right away. You can now no longer log in to your Google account. This bypasses the FRP lockout so you can enter new account details. To bypass a Google account, all kinds of apps on smartphones via computer do not work. They are all paid (surprise surprise) and are designed for a one-time purchase. Any of these apps will give you an error. And if you are unlucky, it will also clog up your device.

So now the algorithm for action:

1. Reset the phone to factory settings.
2. Go to the settings.
3. Go to "Restore and reset".
4. Select "Reset settings".
5. Find out about the risks of deleting all data from the internal memory and press " Reset mobile phone settings ".
6. On the web page asking for a language, find an empty field and press it with two fingers.
7. The loud voice assistant is activated - at this stage you cannot turn it off or reduce the volume.
8. Swipe from top to bottom and to the right (at a 90 degree angle).
9. The voice assistant settings menu opens.
10. Select the Language setting option.
11. Click on the settings icon in the shape of a star.
12. Look for the item that describes the licences and open it.
13. Under this item you will see a list of licences and their description in text format. We are not interested in the latter - it is just text. But we need the names of the licences - click on one of them. Then - on the magnifying glass icon.
14. A search will open. Type in the internet and click on "Search".
15. You will be offered to open any pre-installed browser. This is the browser you need to open.
16. In the search box, type https://www.nckreader.com/samlock/.
17. You will see many download links.
18. We are interested in "Direct google account (FRPBypass)" and one of the links corresponding to the Android version of the phone.
19. Then open the "Downloads" menu in the browser itself.
20. Click on the file "frplock...".
21. We will be prompted to allow installation from third party sources. Allow it.
22. Once we have installed "frplock", start it immediately.
23. Wait until a notification appears that the service has been stopped.
24. Then install "Google-account..." and run it.
25. Then run "frplock" again.
26. That's it, congratulations, you have bypassed the FRP lock. Your phone is unlocked - you can now enter your new account details.

IMPORTANT! When you reset the phone to the factory settings, the FRP lock is active. You must bypass it in the same way.
